Chapter 252: Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
When he arrived in Hezhou City, Haojie first asked Li Hong to rest, and the mansion he prepared for Li Hong was also not extravagant, but it was very elegant, as if he had figured out what Li Hong was thinking. In other words, if Li Hong didn't dislike such an official, he really wouldn't have anything to like anymore.
I can grasp the meaning of the receiving, and I can do things so beautifully.
This is equivalent to how greedy Qianlong was back then, and he never thought of beheading his henchman, because He Shen understood Qianlong's mind and did everything in Qianlong's heart, what else could Qianlong be dissatisfied with him?
When the water is clear, there are no fish.
It is inevitable that an official will have some bad qualities, and the key is that you can do the facts.
Now Datang lacks such officials.
Li Hong didn't know the current situation of the Tang officials, but it can be seen from the tax corruption in Chang'an City that the officials of the Tang Dynasty are no longer as honest and honest as they were when Taizong was.
The number of people attending the banquet was small, but all of them were people with heads and faces in Qizhou, and even many disciples of the big families also participated, and Li Hong had no objection to this. Since Haojie held a banquet like this, he just went with the flow and enjoyed it. It is said that since he was born, except for one trip when he was eight years old, he has stayed in the East Palace for the rest of the time. This time he went out to tour the northwest, because of the war, he did not go to the northwest to visit, especially the Lingzhou he wanted to go to, and also to the places in Yizhou.
Now that he has returned to Beijing after a big victory over Tubo, he also feels that there is nothing wrong with being able to enjoy such a day in Qizhou.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone raised their glasses to Li Hong, "Ministers toast His Highness—"
"Drink together!" Li Hong said, raising his glass and drinking it all.
Immediately, the song and dance began, and dozens of women wearing light yarns and dancing Miaoman's dance posture took the stage.
Each of these women was as beautiful as a fairy, and their countenances did not in the slightest belong to the two women who served Li Hong when she was in the carriage.
For a woman like this, it is already very good to be able to produce one or two in a state or county, and it is indeed a bloody investment for Qizhou Thorn Shi Haojie to find so many beauties and train them to be beautiful women who can sing and dance.
"Knock-knock-knock-" The drums beat around, and the rhythm of the music was very sluggish.
"Zheng-" The guzheng voice was very crisp.
A battlefield killing song was carried into the main hall with the sound of a whispering zither, accompanied by the performance of the Meiji, which made everyone who watched the performance drunk. If it weren't for the presence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the disciples of the great family would probably have been unable to control it a long time ago.
Fortunately, now that Li Hong is pressing, they don't dare to show the domineering aura of a gentleman.
If they really angered the prince, they would behead them, and what could their family say could only swallow their anger.
Besides, who is the most unscrupulous child in the world? It should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? No matter how stubborn they are, they will smash and rob, beat people on the street, smash tables in Qinglou, and rob people's daughters in their homes.
But Li Hong's squirrels are different, once he gets up, he will send tens of thousands of troops to destroy the rhythm of a country!
Therefore, if you dare to play arrogant in front of Li Hong, every child of the big family here will not dare.
Suddenly, at this moment, the music stopped.
Immediately, the sound of musical instruments sounded again.
But at this moment, all the dancing beauties retreated to the side, and they saw a white shadow flash, and a burst of fragrance hit—
Then, a woman in white appeared in front of everyone, and when she walked slowly to the main hall with her dancing posture, everyone present was stunned - because it was so beautiful.
Her beauty is different from the beauty of ordinary women, not in appearance, but in the combination of temperament and appearance.
When people see her, they will think that she is from a noble family, and then they will notice her appearance that is enough to make women in the world envious and jealous.
Guo Xiang gives people the feeling of charming, and a little enchanting.
But the woman in white in front of her gives people the feeling of ethereal and dusty, like a hibiscus out of the water, a fairy in the world.
"There is such a woman in time?" Li Hong asked, he was also surprised, the beauty of the woman in white in front of him had already moved him, with Li Hong's eyes, he felt that such a woman could be compared to the four beauties of ancient China.
As soon as the woman in white came to the stage, the aura in the entire hall changed.
At the same time, the tune of the song has become much softer and gentler.
The woman in white first saluted Li Hongshi and said, "The people's daughter Bai Suzhen, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Scared—"
Li Hong's quilt almost fell to the ground without being stable.
——! of Omaga
Is your name real or fake?
Li Hong was almost confused by this name.
Bai Suzhen, are you sure it's Bai Suzhen and not Bai Mengli?
It's just the crown prince, how could he make a gaffe move, just stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly.
Bai Suzhen didn't speak again, but got up and began to dance on the dance floor in the center of the main hall-
"Haojie, this girl's name is Bai Suzhen?" Li Hong asked Haojie, who was sitting not far away.
Hao Thorn Shi hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Highness, her original name was Bai Mengli, and the minister changed her name to him Bai Suzhen. ”
Li Hong collapsed.
Your uncle, I said what is your name, what are you really called?
Seeing that the prince was very interested in Bai Suzhen, Haojie's heart blossomed.
Many officials patted the prince's ass, and they all slapped the horse's hooves. It's because you don't know the prince, you see what I do? The exterior is simple, the interior is luxurious, the interior is luxurious, the courtyard is simple but elegant residence, and now it is a beautiful woman with both temperament and beauty.
Looking at the prince's attitude towards himself, this is quite satisfied with his own arrangement!
If I coax the prince today, will there be a time when the official road will be blocked in the future?
Now, even if Empress Wu is in charge, he has already divided the right of Gaozong to provoke ministers, but for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, when the prince comes of age and inherits the throne, he will sooner or later return the government to the prince, so a good prince is the greatest guarantee for future investment.
For this reason, Haojie will not hesitate to pay such a big price for the phone bill.
Before, he was still a little apprehensive and felt that he was reckless, but now seeing the prince's attitude towards him, he knew that he had made the right bet this time.
As soon as the prince asked about Bai Suzhen's situation, it showed that Bai Suzhen was already the prince's.
The crowd watching the dance no longer dared to think about it.
Nonsense, dare to fight with the prince, do you want to die? Do you feel that you are not enough to die alone, and you still want to be accompanied by your family?
Who has the guts?
Only not far away, Guo Xiang, who was set up in a seat, had a slightly ugly face when he saw Bai Suzhen, if he wasn't afraid of Li Hong, the prince, with her personality, it is estimated that she would have thrown her sleeves and left.
